]]>Get The Pie Ready
First, you’ll want to refrigerate a large bowl. Take out the apple pie and separate the crust from each slice. Take the filling and chop it up along with the crust.
Time for Ice Cream
Remove the chilled bowl from the fridge and throw in milk, cream, and spice mix. Whisk the mixture together until blended and use a spatula to fold the apple pie filling into the mix.
Spread the Sauce
Squeeze a tablespoon of caramel sauce into a loaf pan. Top it with the leftover apple pie filling and top it off with any remaining cream. Finally, place this mixture onto the ice cream and freeze for six hours.

Baskin Robbins is an American staple, and for good reason. Also know as “31 Flavors”, Baskin Robbins is known for delivering the goods on a multitude of levels: quantity, quality, and excellent cappuccino blasts if that’s your thing!
Carvel
Finally, another classic ice cream brand that simply won’t go away is Carvel. Known for its unique flavors and impeccable quality, you really can’t go wrong with a Carvel ice cream run on a Saturday night.
Häagen-Dazs
If you’re looking for an ice cream that oozes class in every way, look no further than Häagen-Dazs. Perhaps it’s the brilliant chic-style branding, or perhaps it’s the simplicity of the flavors, but Häagen-Dazs has ensnared the hearts, minds, and taste buds of the entire world.

]]>Low in Fat
Most people who are trying to put a healthy twist on ice cream tend to make it fat-free or low-fat, but this usually doesn’t work. If you want to switch to low-fat or skim milk, keep in mind your ice cream won’t have the creamy texture that you’re trying to achieve, and it will take much more time to freeze it.
Mixing Too Much
If you’re trying to speed up your ice cream-making process, you might try to do it by over-mixing your ice cream, but this trick never works. Instead of speeding up the process, over-mixing will lead to icy texture, and your ice cream will never reach its optimal texture without enough time spent in the freezer.
Warm Bowls
You should prep your bowls or ice cream maker properly because you’ll struggle to make this dessert if they’re still warm. Place your bowl inside the freezer and let it cool down for a bit before starting to prepare ice cream inside it.

]]>Scoops Ahoy is one of the iconic locations introduced in the third season of the beloved sci-fi series. Fan favorite characters Steve Harrington or Robin Buckley used to work at this nautical-themed ice cream parlor at the time, and Scoops Ahoy stayed an important part of the Stranger Things lore even after they left it behind.
According to Netflix’s official press release, this ice cream collection is inspired by episodes, themes, and characters from the world of Stranger Things. They launched a sea of delicious flavors that will take you away to the heart of Hawkins, Indiana.
Four of the flavors, called U.S.S. Butterscotch, Cinnamon Bun Bytes, Chocolate Pudding, and Triple Decker, are inspired by the series itself, and they’re all tied to specific episodes and characters. The remaining three flavors – Mint Flare, Pineapple Upside, and The Void – have a spookier vibe because they draw inspiration from the show’s mysterious alternative dimension the Upside Down.

]]>Ice Cream’s Surroundings
Dairy products absorb smells really easily, so if you have fish or other foods with strong odors in the freezer, keep them away from your ice cream.
Store Ice Cream Upside Down
Alright so this sounds a bit weird, but go ahead and try it. Before you put your ice cream back in the freezer, flip it upside down. Just make sure that the lid is on tight because you don’t want to open your freezer to find that your ice cream has spilled everywhere.
Cover Ice Cream With Parchment Paper
When you open your ice cream, the air that comes in contact with it causes the surface to refreeze which makes the ice particles appear. You can slow this process down by placing a piece of parchment paper on the surface of the ice cream to create a new seal.

]]>“We know that there is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than ice cream,” Emily Violett, Kraft’s Senior Associate Brand Manager, said in a press release. “That is why we wanted to combine two of the most iconic comfort foods to create an ice cream with the unforgettable flavor of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese we all grew up with.” As she further notes, the new ice cream is made with “high-quality ingredients” without any “artificial flavors, preservatives, or dyes.” The color and the flavor come from Kraft’s cheese sauce mix.
Could it really be good? It’s definitely not for everyone. The brand has a variety of vegan options and this is definitely not one of them. It’s absolutely unique and worth trying just for the sake of novelty. And who knows, they may start a trend of savory ice creams which wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. Imagine all the possible combinations!

]]>Here are 4 of the strangest ice cream flavors you’ve got to try.
Bird
The Torimi Cafe in Japan creates ice cream that has the taste and texture of real live birds. Ranging across the Java Sparrow, Parakeet and Cockatiel—the producers have based the flavors on the kinds of foods the birds eat, and also what would evoke the sensation of having the birds in your mouth.
Fish and Chips
Frederick’s Dairies’ Fish and Chips ice cream tastes and looks just like fish and chips. The ice cream potatoes are made with real potatoes, the fish is coated in vanilla and pepper batter, and it is all served with vinegar and a lemon wedge.
Cicada
Sparky’s Homemade Ice Cream in Missouri made an ice cream peppered with boiled cicadas from the shop’s back yard. Although it sounds weird, the first batch sold out within the first day…
Toast
Toast flavored ice cream is quite a popular favorite. It can be savory or sweet. It can be made by exposing vanilla ice cream to freshly buttered toast and infusing it with honey and burn toast crumbs.

]]>The post Remember These Ice Cream Truck Treats? appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
]]>There are so many different treats I consumed throughout my youth that bring back a big dose of nostalgia every time I think about them. Here are some that you might remember too.
Drumsticks
Drumsticks are one of the treats I think of most fondly from the ice cream truck. This popular treat, which can still be found all over, included a vanilla ice cream cone whose top part was covered in a hard chocolate and peanut shell.
Choco Tacos
Choco Tacos are another great pick I remember being a huge hit during my childhood. With its fun shape resembling a classic Mexican taco—this chocolate and vanilla treat was not only delicious but also fun.
filled with freshly churned pumpkin ice cream, waffle shell, and dusted with ginger cookie crumbs, these are only available this weekend! #njfoodtrucks #foodtruckfood #chocotaco #pumpkinspice #pumpkin #pumpkinicecream #dessert #falldessertsPop Ups
One of the most classic fruity treats you could find when the ice cream truck rolled up were the famous pop ups. Coming in a variety of fruit flavors, a plastic stick on the bottom of this treat “popped up” the sherbet whenever you pushed it, allowing you to savor its delicious flavors.

]]>The post Don’t Make the Mistake of Ordering These 3 Foods for Delivery appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
]]>One of those things is the fact some foods simply aren’t great candidates for delivery. Here are three that you should avoid ordering to be delivered.
Nachos
Nachos are one of my favorite treats at Mexican restaurants, as the delicious combination of tortilla chips covered with salsa, beans, cheese, veggies, and sometimes meat is irresistible. However, by the time this dish is delivered to your home, the chips will be soggy thanks to all of those toppings, and it just won’t taste the same.
Pasadena, Long Beach, Highland Park, West Covina, Alhambra 
they also have amazing fish tacos! 
Ice Cream
It might be tempting to order an ice cream dessert from a restaurant or to simply place an order from your local gelato shop, but unfortunately this food simply doesn’t hold up well for delivery. Meltiness and losses of flavor and texture tend to be the norm when ice cream is delivered.
French Fries
Ordering french fries is a delivery classic, but more often than not you’ll end up disappointed after your fries arrive soggy and cold. Reheated french fries just aren’t the same, and unless the delivery is super quick, they won’t be hot upon arrival. It’s better not to risk it with this side dish.

Bubbies mochi ice cream is now mass-produced, and its last brick and mortar at Hawaii Kai closed its doors. Hawaii is still the best possible place to try it because this company was started in Honolulu before expending to the rest of the US.

Cream n’ Roll has two locations in Honolulu, and it’s best known for its signature rolled ice cream. You can pick your own base, mixer, and toppings and watch the ice cream being assembled in front of your very eyes.
Black Sheep Cream Co.
Located in Waipahu, Black Sheep Cream Co. established itself as one of Hawaii’s best ice cream shops since its opening. If you’re not exactly sure which flavor to order, you can try them at their tasting board, but they’re all equally amazing.
